Does this actually tune the car?

Or is it just a fancy code reader? It says Improves Performance and Change Engine Tuning.



What about this one?

Here is what Summit Racing says - These V-Force Plus power control modules are designed for the performance enthusiast who wants improved performance, acceleration, and the ability to monitor vehicle information. V-Force Plus power control modules are designed around a 20 MHz RISC processor. V-Force Plus power control modules optimize ignition advance and fuel maps for optimum horsepower and drivability. In addition, the software in the program allows you to select from 14 different screens to monitor throttle position, mass airflow, manifold pressure, fuel economy, and air/fuel ratio. This allows you to monitor your driving habits for the best fuel economy and performance.



So yes they do modify the ECU to get better performance out of the car.

I wonder what kind of HP boost it gives to non custom tunes and full custom ones?
